    Really fun, entertaining and honest documentary.

    So, I'll make this quite short as other have and will make longer and more detailed reviews. I've been following the YouTube channels of the two main characters in this film for a while and if, at first, it was just out of boredom and curiosity, I quickly became hooked to the honest and direct way they picture their topics and adventures in China. It's more or less interesting depending on your interests and sensitivity but it always has some kind of a fresh feeling.

    That is exactly what they managed to capture in this documentary. It's candid, just as their production brand's name. You'll wish it lasted longer both because it's entertaining and because you can feel how rich the culture of the people they show is and so little is shown in less than 2 hours. But don't get me wrong, if you know their channels, you'll really enjoy this. If you don't, it's a really human and different way to visit China from your living room and it will make you want to see more. The good news is that you'll have plenty more of that stuff on YouTube. Adventure, exploration, day-to-day life with the same angle, just not the same production value. That last point alone is what made me buy the documentary instead of renting it since I know I'll be watching it a few times because it's really well put.

    All in all, if you're interested in the real China aside of mega-factories and politics and/or if you enjoy the adventure-road-trip storytelling (or you like the YouTube channels, of course) go check this out. You won't regret it!

    Great series

    This is a great mini-series and introduction to Southern China. Fans of Winston and C-Milk will appreciate this offering. It's not intended to be a fully-fledged, in depth documentary. It's a short, four part mini-doc designed to show a little, off the beaten track insight in to what China is like, beyond the tourists. A great watch, must see.

    What a Documentary

    This was great it's better than most Documentaries on mainstream TV Channels i loved every second of this show and honestly the people that post negative reviews don't know what the hell they are talking about.

    One of the most captivating and in depth perspectives on exploring China

    Winston and C-Milk / Matt, 2 best friends who met over in China, decided to co-video blog their experiences on Youtube. This then lead to the Conquering Northern China series being made.

    If you would like to get to tour a country from the confines of your armchair, this is the way to do it. You will get a sublime experience from westeners who have settled in China, learnt the language, the history, the laws, the culture, not to mention a good understanding of the regional areas. They have a fantastic knowledge base and are very respectful to all those whom they encounter on their journey.

    You will greatly enjoy this and most definitely will learn a lot.
